PayPal fees are terrible and they’re also problematic for some countries. Wise is a lot cheaper and more convenient for some businesses. I was not surprised they made this change, but it might be good if they also offered Payoneer to help out people in Asia as it’s more Asia-friendly.

Hello @Old_Boy, welcome to the Make Community.

We understand the message from Wise can be confusing. The message you see refers to receiving money into your Wise Balance Account which is yet not available in certain countries and States.

We are able to send money through Wise to most countries, including Vietnam. Once you open the account, please add your Wise account email to your Make Affiliate Dashboard.

Once we process your payment to the email address you provided in your affiliate dashboard, Wise will notify you and ask for your bank account details to transfer the payout directly to your bank account.

Hi @Frank_Gordon, we’ve moved away from PayPal as our affiliate payment method and switched to Wise, so the answer is no. Please follow the setup instructions that we emailed you. Hope it helps. :slight_smile:
